New swindie by sawdust Men.

New YORK, July 30-The heads of the five
sawdust gangs in this city have devised new
scheme to defraud unwary countrymen. and are
again flooding the mails with letters and circu-
lars. Instead of the old circular which offered
couu terfeit money for sale, they have prepared
a circular in which it is stated that mouey has
been left to the person to whom che letter is sent
by distant relative, and that the legacy can be
secured by the payment OF certain sum of
money to an agent in this city. Accompanying
the circular is a separate piece of paper on which
is printed the name and address of the agent Az
ter the victim las received several letters and has
answered them, he is invited to come to New
York. When he arrives in the city he is met by
"capper" who conducts him to the agents"
Office. Then, if he has the commission he is
shown the money, which is afterward packed in
box, and he is advised to ship it by express.
The box containing the money is not taken from
the Office, but containing sawdust and
bricks is substituted when the victim is
looking. This is shipped, and when the victim
arrives home he is surprised to learn that he
has been swindled The post Office officials have
received numerous complaints about these cir
culars. A short time ago man named S. r.
Wisner, of Bethel, Mich, was swindled in this
way by man named B. Lang. who received his
letters at No. 10 Stanton street.

AN EASILY WON VICTORY
Healy's Pitching and Hard Batting
Defeat the Washington Club.
The Visitors Delay the Game with the Hope
That Rain Would Let Them Out-Han-
over Beaten at Monmouth Park.

The eight hundred people who braved the heat
yesterday afternoon and went to Athletic Park
saw some very good and some very bad ball play
ing. The home team played with apparent
enthusiasm, and were the winners from the be-
ginning. Healy's speed was simply terrific. Had
Hackett been able to hold him at all
times behind the bat the visitors
would have perhaps been shut out entirely.
Shaw was pounded from the beginning The
first two innings brought the home team six
runs, three being made in each. In the first
Giasscock, Denny and Bassett scored and in the
second Glasscock. Seery and Healy. In the last
half of the second Shaw hit safe to first, stole
second, and came in on bad throw to third.
When the home team went to bat at the be-
ginning of the fifth inning, the rain began to
drizzle slightly and il looked very much like the
game would have to be called The visitors
the game was lost to them ii it was called at the
closing of the fifth inning. and they began to de-
lay the game. The catcher feigned that he was
hurt, and the entire club came in to assist in
0octoring his pretended injury. The home
club saw the scheme and objected,
but the un pire was in o hurry about getting the
mon back to their places Finally when play
ing began again, the visitors refused to field the
ball or put man out when chance was offered,
and Bassett and McGeachy both scored in con-
sequence. The latter knocked little fly down
into right field, and allowed to make a
home run. The crowd became digusted.
and loudly called upon the umpire
come down harder and the home team finally
refused To run on hits and went out. By the time
the side was retired the rain was over and when
the visitors they had the game to play out
they Disguised set of players. The loose
playing gave the home team much the lead
that they had little difficulty in winning.
one-hand catch by McGeachy in center field,

Glasscock. Poihemus played very satisfactory
game The following is the score:

Dietary Cure for Summer Complaints.

Pittsburg Chronicle.
In case of summer complaints prepared flour
is not only the safest of nourishment but if the
disease in its first stage this diet will often re-
lieve it so effectually to preclude the of
medicine. Flour for this is prepared by ty-
ing about pint of it very tightly in CLOTH
which is then put into boiling water and boiled
three hours. Upon untying it, the gluten of the
-four will be found in the outside of
the ball. Remove this aud the inside will prove
dry powder which is very astringent Crate
this and wet portion of it in cold milk. Boil
a pint of milk. and when it is at the boiling
point stir in much of the wet mixture as
will thicken il to the quality of palatabe por-
ridge. Stir in little salt and let this be the
ticle of diet until the disease disappears. Nut
broth, which is also very astrngent. may
sometimes be advantageousiy used to afford
little change of food.
A small quantity of wild cherry brandy, a very
little tea thoroughly boiled rice, beef juice and
toast, also figure in the usually accepted dietary
for complaints incident to summer.

BERLIN, July 30.-The reported intention of
the Catholic congress, at Fulda to reopen claims

presses profound discomfort. and calls upon the
Protestants to organize for immediate action
The first outcome Of this agitation has been the
appearance of the Evangelscher Bund which is
endeavoring to concentrate the scattered forces
of the Professionals. The bund, which is drawing
the most Of its adherents from Prussia and Sax
ony, opened its first session on Wednesday last,
at Meinngen. The members are animated by
a common spirit resist the Catholic demands,
especially the re-establishment of religious
orders and the exclusive control by priests
of education.
